Kevin O'Rourke of ValueSource Global says trust must be earned with data, which is why the team built a scorecard. The scorecard evaluates each manufacturer with 45 different KPIs across seven categories, scoring areas such as quality certifications, defect history, labor performance practices, ESG compliance, and responsiveness to problems, with categories weighted because not everything matters equally. The result is a clear score that indicates whether suppliers are preferred, approved, or disqualified before any order is placed. He invites viewers to download the scorecard below and share their thoughts."}
